...been all but convicted in the media, with Energy Secretary Bill Richardson ordering him fired from Los Alamos and the Cox Report alleging grave breaches of U.S. nuclear security. But once the dust had settled, it hadn?t been clearly established that China had actually stolen comprehensive design information, and the only substantive charge against Lee was that he had breached security procedures by downloading sensitive information from a secure computer system onto an unsecured one ?- an action his lawyers argue should be understood as an absent-minded oversight by a man whose job involved downloading large bodies of data...
...take the rest of the summer off," says TIME senior economics reporter Bernard Baumohl, after Thursday?s CPI number confirmed the good news: Inflation is definitely back in the grave. The overall Consumer Price Index was unchanged last month, and the core rate ? which excluded volatile energy prices ?- increased a mere 0.1 percent. Both numbers came in under expectations, yet another assurance that the Fed has absolutely no need to throttle back on the money supply when it meets in August.

The 1973 trimester construction of Roe v. Wade seemed at odds with what our eyes could see. Viability comes sooner now (a 1991 study found that 34% of babies delivered at 24 weeks can live). Perhaps...
...across all Kosovo. The evidence before our own eyes is damning. So many Albanians have lost husbands, brothers, wives or children. Nearly everyone has lost his or her home and most possessions. The scale of the terror that is emerging--possibly 10,000 killed, as many as 100 mass grave sites at latest NATO count--leaves little room right now for any emotion but horror...
